How much will it have in common with So Far Gone?
Drake: I’m not really worried—there’s no “This has to fuckin’ change the industry.” Six months is the most you can ask of any fan in this day and age, with the Internet and all these new artists. I understand that my music is in a lot of mediums. It’s in clubs, it’s on the radio, it’s at basketball games, it’s the theme song when girls wanna get naked on WorldStar HipHop. Some people want me to make an R&B album. Some people want me to never sing again. I just don’t want people to be able to draw comparisons between my old songs and my new ones.So what differentiates them?
Drake: I always view my music like a city at night, like Atlanta. I view my music in lights.
